7 Nhwachila akahokobhina chibhatamita makacho,

8 Chapanga Nkolongwa ngabhapila bhando ilambo kubhehe uliche gwabhe,

10 Pabhakolila pi kilambo china njenga,

Ngabhalonda na kwatunja,

11 Ngita litumbuhe chilibhola yanamundo kuhomba,

nu kuhatambula mapapanilo nu kughegha mapupo ghake kwa mapapanilo,

Bhambo Chapanga ndi chabhalonda aka Ichilahele kupala bhangagwe jhe.

12 Bhambo Chapanga ngabhalongwiya bhando bhake,

na apahi jhe kubhehe na kichapanga chenge kintangatile.

13 Ngabhatenda bhapete pi kilambo chu kunane chiitombe,

na bheniya ngabhalila ilebhe yu mu mighonda.

Ngabhapila bhuche ghu mu linkwembe,

na mahuta gha micheitune ghighalemwite mundope gwa kihekendo kinonopo.

14 Ngabhapila siage na mabhele ghi ipugho,

ngabhapila ngano jhambone hake na divaye jhambone kuhumii mu michabibo jhabhe.

15 Nambo bhando bhuku Ichilahele ngibhakenda nu kunenepa,

ngabhajhukuta, ngabhabhila niitambe nu kukenda,

peniya, ngabhanneka Chapanga jwabhapangine,

ngabhannibhilila jwabhii Nkolongwa.

16 Ngabhantenda Chapanga akole wiho hake ku ichapanga yabhe,

na ngabhantenda Chapanga achimwe, kuitendwa yabhe yanganandela.

17 Ngabhiipikiya matambiko ghu kukomelekeya kwa ichapanga, yangamanyikana,

ichapanga ihyono yangamanyikana na akahokobhabhe, ichapanga yanga jhinamilwa na Akaichilahele,

18 ngibhinibhilila Lindalabho lilimpangine,

ngabhanibhilila Chapanga jwabhapapita.

19 Bhambo Chapanga ngakibhona kilebhe chenio, ngabhachimwa,

ngabhaikana yana yabhe inalome ni ikeghe.

20 Bhambo ngalongila, ‘Mbakuleka kwatangatila kupala nnola chikipa kwakolela!’

Nhwalo angota ndi bhando bhina milomo na bhangahobholeka.

21 Bhandei me nawiho kunhwalo gwa kuitumiki ichapanga yabhe,

Ku yene naleka bhalole wiho kwa bhala bhangabhe bhando,

nanatenda bhachimwe kunhwalo gwa kwatangatila bhando mambyeta.

22 Lilaka lyango lijhaka ngita mwotu,

nalitiniya ade pahe kukilambo cha bhando bhibhawile,

lipakutiniya nnema na yoha ibhii mwenio,

lipakutiniya michinge jha itombe.

23 Nanundika mabhoho ghamahele hake kwabhe,

na mbakwakoma kwa mahonga ghango.

24 Nabhakombala kwa njala,

nabhajhomoka ku malwalo,

nambeleka inyama ikale kwajhingilila,

na majhoka ghina uchongo bhalume.

25 Ngondo najhatenda bhawe panja jha miche jhabhe,

kiholo chachakoma unyumba jhabhe,

na yana inalome ni ikeghe naikomwa,

yana yabhe ijhonga na ighogholo yabhe, nihwa.

26 Nikalongi, nganakomelekii pulutu,

kupala bhando bhangakomboka jhe pannema.

27 Nambo naleka jhe akamakoko bhabhe bhikiluye,

kukulonge bhahotwii bhando bhango,

kongo ne Bhambo Chapanga ndi nakomalikiye pulutu.

28 Ichilahele ndi bhando bhanga malango,

bhando bhake, bhakwete jhe malango nkate jhabhe.

29 Ngabhakola malango ngabhamanye kilebhe ghane chibhalepelila,

kabhele ngabhamanye mwicho gwabhe naubhabhole.

30 Bho, mundo jhumo nahotolabho kwabula bhando elufo jhimo?

Amu jhe bhando bhabhele nabhahotola bhole, bhando elufo kome?

Iwechekana tugha pange Bhambo Chapanga atei kwaleka,

na pange tu Bhambo Chapanga jwabhe bhatei kwaleka.

31 Ata akamakoko bhabhe bhamanye kubhehe kichapanga chabhe kikwete jhe makakala,

ngita chabhii na makakala Chapanga jwa aka Ichilahele.

32 Nhwalo michabibo jha akamakoko bhabhe ibhokite ku maina gha Chodoma na mu mighonda yuku Gomola,

chabibo yake ina uchongo,

na ikonywa yake ina kubhabha.

33 Divaye yabhe ngita uchongo gwa lijhoka. uchongo gwake ngita majhoka.

34 Bhambo Chapanga ngalongila, ‘Bho nakalitunjite jhe nhwalo ghongo nukulibheka mu kihukilo chango?

Nendela kipinde chikipalwa nahadabule.

35 Kulepechela ndi kwango nenga, namwete nanepechela,

36 Bhambo Chapanga nabhakengelela bhando bhake nu kwabhone kiya akatumiche bhake, kipinde papakubhona makakala ghabhe ghajhomwike hilu

abhii jhe jwahighilike, mpungwa amu jwanga pungwa.’

37 Bhambo Chapanga papakwakonya bhando bhake,

‘Ibhii ko ichapanga ino jhenge,

38 Ibhii ko ichapanga ilila matambiko ghino,

nu kunywe divaye na matambiko ghino gha ghukunywe?

Bhahe, ijhinuke na jhintangatile,

39 ‘Dola ne ndi Chapanga

na hilu abhii jhe jhonge nambo nga nenga tugha.

Ne ukoma nu kuyokicha,

abhii jhe jwahoto kunkombola jhojhoha kubhoka kwa nenga.

40 Nhwalo nitondobhe lubhoko lwango kunane kwa Chapanga,

nu kulapii kubhehe ne ndi jwanitama machiko ghoha ghangapeta,

41 nannola upanga gwango ghung'ala,

nu kutundobheya lubhoko lwango kwahadabula,

nabhalepechela mabhoho akamakoko bhino,

nu kwahadabula bhibhanjimwa.

42 Chanakoma akamakoko bhango ku upanga,

upanga gwango nuukoma bhoha bhibhanjimwa nenga,

nanneka jhe hilu jhumo jwapakukomana na nenga,

na bhando bhibhakochokine na bhapungwa nabhakomwa.’

43 Ilambo ihanganila pamonga na bhando bhake,

nhwalo jwenio apakulepechela myahe jha akatumiche bhake kwa bhoha bhakomite,

kulepechela kwa akamakoko bhake,

nu kukijhelebhula kilambo uhakaho gwa bhando bhake."

44 Mucha na Yochuwa mwana jwa Nune ngabhaika nnonge kujhemba nhwambo gwenio, kupala Akaichilahele bhoha bhujhohe.

45 Mucha pajhomolila kwalobholela bhando bhuku Ichilahele malobhe ghanga ghoha, 46 ngabhalobholila, "Maghabheka kumwojho gwino na kughajhokanikiya malobhe ghoha ghininnobholile deleno. Mipalwa kwiibhola yana ino kupala ikengame kukuhobholeka malobhe ghoha gha malaghalikilo ghanga. 47 Nhwalo malaghalikilo ghanga chi malobhe jhika tu jhe nambo ndi ughome gwino, kwa kukengama malaghalikilo ghanga nantama machiko ghamahele mu kilambo channyenda kutola kubhehe chino, kwiye jha lukemba Yoludane."

48 Lichiko lele, Bhambo Chapanga ngannobholila Mucha, 49 "Nkwele pi kitombe cha Abalimo, ade pi kitombe cha Nebo mu kilambo chuku Moabo, kujhenda ku kilambo chuku Yeliko, makalole kilambo chuku Kaanane, chanape Akaichilahele kubhehe chabhe. 50 Peniya, nannyomokela koko kwenio kukitombe nukuchikwa koko ngita chajhomwika nhwachagwino Alune, pajhomwika ku kitombe cha Hole, 51 kwa nhwalo gwenio mabhoha mabhele makande kunemwa nnonge jha Akaichilahele, pamakibha mu mache ghuku Meliba, pahina na kilambo chuku Kadeche, ku njenga jha Sine, ngamaleka kulangii kubhehe minyokanikiya jhe pakate jha bhando bhango Akaichilahele. 52 Bhahe, namukibhona tugha kilambo chenio chukutale, nambo milebhata ndeka mu kilambo chenie chanape Akaichilahele."
